On top of that, Impossible Foods says its Impossible Sausage product is now available at 30 of the best restaurants in the United States as rated by Yelp. These are the first independently owned restaurants offering impossible sausages (Previously, the only two companies offering impossible sausages were Burger King and Starbucks).
Diners were chosen based on the amount of comments they have, as well as their ratings. They include Champs Diner in Brooklyn, New York, Daily Eats in Tampa, Florida, and Beach Break Cafe in Oceanside, California (We will include the full list of 30 diners below). All diners have agreed to participate in the Impossible Sausage campaign and have listed their businesses as currently open, be it for dinner, delivery or take-away.
“Plant-based meat has seen a significant increase in consumer interest in Yelp as we’ve seen a 140% increase in ‘plant-based’ review mentions in the past two years,” said Tara Lewis. , a trend expert on Yelp. Press release. “In fact, Impossible Burger was one of Yelp’s top food trends in 2019, and we don’t see that slowing down anytime soon.”
The Impossible Sausage release is similar in pattern to the Impossible Burger; the only way to have it, at least for now, is through a restaurant. And then eventually, the company could go on to sell the impossible sausage at grocery stores as if it had the impossible burger.
It’s worth mentioning that the impossible sausage is slightly different from the impossible pork product announced earlier this year. Although both products are designed to replace pork in your diet, the sausage product was flavored and made in a way that closely resembles the typical breakfast sausage. The Impossible Pork product, on the other hand, is more of a blank canvas that can be used in any ground pork application.
